Zinc is an essential mineral that your body requires to perform multiple different functions. Zinc is an important element for the creation of DNA, which codes your complete genetic information. It is also necessary for cell production, proper immunity, and healing functions. Zinc deficiency is not very common because it may take months or years to develop symptoms if you lack the required amount of zinc in your diet or blood. Zinc deficiency can be treated by increasing zinc intake in your diet. If diet alone is not enough, zinc supplements are prescribed to counter the deficiency.
